Rigal plantation raid

The Rigal plantation raid occurred in 1735 when the Maroon ally Adewale raided a French plantation on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, Sainte-Domingue, in an attempt to free the 40 slaves there. Adewale came across the plantation shortly after rescuing Jeanne Gribelin from the overseer Enzo Cartier, and he decided to liberate as many slaves as possible. Upon hearing of Adewale's arrival, the overseers began to massacre unarmed slaves with the hope that they could prevent a slave riot, angering Adewale, who killed all 20 overseers. In the end, he saved 26 slaves, who proceeded to join the Maroons in the countryside.
